I have had my southbend for a few years now and I love it. Recently I came across a good deal on a nice metal table, and bigger motor for it. I transferred the lathe, and the new motor is different than my old one.....and the drum switch is different as well. The motor is a Craftsman model 1225. It is currently set up for 110v ( problem #1). I also am using the drum switch from my old motor and thats a Furnace drum switch, now here is the kicker.....most drum switches i see online have 6 terminals....mine has 7....4 on the left and 3 on the right. I did locate a drawing showing how to wire it, but cant figure out how to deal with the top terminal. Also I have followed the directions to convert the motor to run on 220......but what do I do with the 115v capacator thats on it? Disconnect it? Replace it with a 220?
Please help, I am in over my head here.
Thanks,
Rob
